What is the difference between logging in with ID-porten and with e-mail?


Logging in using ID-porten offers several advantages:

  • Provides extra security that no one else can access your information
  • Access to all the services on My page
  • No need to remember the e-mail and password you have used at UDI

Services that are only available if you log in with ID-porten:

  • You can see the contact information we have registered on you
  • You can see information about your residency in Norway and whether you have the right to work
  • You can download a PDF with a confirmation that you have legal residency and the right to work
  • Future services that may simplify the application process for you

We therefore recommend that everyone who can make use of logging in with ID-porten does this. The exception may be if you are going to apply on behalf of another person.
